Carpineto Farnito Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon 2001

Another Carpineto wine, this time with fruit sourced from Florence and Siena. After decanting for an hour or so the bouquet showed a melange of morello cherries, blackcurrant, rose petals, licorice, oak, cabernet leaf and spices. On the palate it was initially dominated by very dry tannins, but these did settle down and integrate nicely into some nice fruit, minerals and oak. Good structure and quite deep and long, this wine was quite moreish and pleasurable. Overall a very attractive and enjoyable "Super Tuscan" and suited our veal ragu perfectly.
50+4+13+18+8 = 93/100
